One of the basic causes of the conflict between the teacher and the class resides in the fact that teachers too often see their primary task in the classroom in the delivery of the instructional material and do not pay sufficient attention to the business of building up the structure of mutual understanding. Thus whenever there occurs a conflict the teacher tends to interprete it as a manifestation of the pupils' indiscipline. The author provides a procedure for analysis of such conflicts which may help the teacher to conceptualize corresponding problems and issues, to overcome negative attitude to the conflict as such, understand its possible causes and meanings, to see its diagnostical and constructive value.
